'Ignorant'
By JOE HALL
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Vice e
President Richard M. Nixon said gradual,
Monday night Sen. John F. Ken- Wednesday
nedy had shown “such ignorance Mon a.m.
of simple economics as to disqual- 4
ify him to be president." -
The Republican presidential
nominee made the charge in a
speech to an enthusiastic crowd es-
timated at 15,000 at Ridgewood in
heavily Republican Bergen Coun-
ty, 23 miles north of here.
The vice president said his op-
ponent had displayed this ignor-
lanqe in insisting that the Demo-
cratic platform could be carried
out with a balanced budget and
without an increase in taxes. Ac-
tually, Nixon said, the platform
pledges would cost IS billion dol-
lars and could not possibly be put
into effect without a budget deficit
unless federal taxes were raised.
Nixon joined up for the second
time in the campaign with his
running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge,
in making a final bid for New
Jersey's 14 electoral votes.
